What happened

A Utah court heard a police interview in which Lance Twiggs, roommate of Tyler Robinson, said Robinson cried after Charlie Kirk’s killing and said “he wishes he hadn’t done it.” Robinson, 23, is charged with aggravated murder in the Sept. 10 fatal shooting of Kirk during an event at Utah Valley University and has not entered a plea. The testimony came during a five-day preliminary hearing in Provo to decide whether prosecutors have enough evidence for trial. Prosecutors also presented videos and officer testimony about the shooting and a suspected sniper position.
